Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: 50-50 Split is The Breaking Point

[hogwash]

Mayweather should be accepting 50-50. However there is no issue as Pac agreed to taking the lesser share.

Make the fight already.....

its all nice and dandy but Arum will never sign this of without the 50-50 split, cause pac taking a lesser share means less money for Arum and that simply never gonna to happen

Has Pac man up from his boo boo scratch he had? I mean how can that put him out for 6 months. When Vitaly eye damn near fell out of his socket and he was in the ring 5 months later. Ahh Arum and his fuckery

As you well know JRos, that scratch was NO "scratch". You have seen the same reports and commets that I have, and everybody kknws that it was a deep cut, to the bone, that it the bony ridge below the eyebrow. And that it took the cosmetic surgeon over an hour to adminster a 3 layer stitching job, totalling 28 stitches. This can take months to properly heal underneath so that it won't reopen when hit. You know all this.

As for Klitschko's"eye hanging out" I thought that you'd outgrown such wild nonsense. Again, you've seen the same pictures and TV that I have, and we have seen pictures on this site, by Klitschko haters, with especially embellished blood, standing in the ring immediately after the fight. But Klitschko's EYE is not hanging out, not even swollen, and perfectly working.

Perhaps you are being vicious because it is I who am the one posting. I'd forgotten, I'll keep my distance from now on, not comment on anything of yours, in fact put you on ignore. Good bye, enjoy yourself with the crazies.

You are forgetting that he has to pay Arum 27%, the IRS gets half, Roach gets 10%, etc.

Dont believe all the numbers you hear online because Manny lost a lot of money and he needs money. He did not get a 22 million guarantee for the JMM fight. Go look at the contract.

Bleacher report is your source?

Show me the actual contract from NSAC. You do know that the contracts are available for people to see?

Are you moronic? The contract is a fixed sum. It doesn't include PPV revenue because it's unknown at that point how many PPV sales the fight is going to make.

Do you think Floyd Mayweather's contracts say that he is going to make $40,000,000 for his fight? Uhh, no.

It's not rocket science.

There is a panoply of sources online to verify that Manny made $20-30 million for the fight (USA Today, ESPN, ABC...). I'm sure you can find them. If you think he made $6 million - since you are so hung-up on the contrct - off a promotion that generated over 70 million dollars on DOMESTIC REVENUE ALONE (i.e. not counting Manny's huge international fanbase) you are truly in need of help.

i think after all the wrangling floyd has done with the drug testing, if this fight doesnt happen because floyd didnt agree to a 50-50 split, floyd is going to lose the court of public opinion. With the amount of money these guys are going to make, its just sheer greed that floyd couldnt agree to evenly split the revenue.

Its not as if floyd is fighting a victor ortiz or marquez here or a bernard hopkins, a accomplished fighter with no ppv power. Floyd and manny are 1# & #2 respectively in their sport. both have titles. both have huge fan bases and are proven ppv stars and both are just as accomplished as each other.

I think floyd has the upper hand right now in terms of court of public opinion, but that's going to change real fast if it doesnt happen because he didnt want to give a even split. In our social media internet age, court of public opinion is more important than ever. Floyd doesnt want to lose that.

I agree.

That's why I'm pretty shocked Mayweather apparently won't accept 50-50.

Also, he said 50-50 was fine just last week if I remember correctly.

To be honest, I won't be suprised if Mayweather comes out and say's he will do 50-50.

I think something is fishy here personally.

[edgarg]

Instead of getting mad, Arum should negotiate. Why is everything a “deal breaker” with Arum before the negotiations have even began.

That’s what I hate the most about Arum of late – he becomes outraged whenever he hears something in the press about this fight and then refuses to talk with Floyd's people.

Every promoter, fighter, manager etc becomes "outraged"....it's a pet word, How many times have we read that DiBella is "outrahed" that Schafaer is "outraged" that Oscar is "outraged", Another favourite comment is "very excited"........used for the most ordinary occurrences.

[Vader21]

So after all the talk and almost convincing everyone he wanted the fight, Floyd goes and puts the blame back on himself for the fight not happening.

[jrosales13]

I'm pretty sure if the email are fake fight hype would expose it soon enough. It's kind of weird how they been quiet through this though.

[richardt]

Mayweather needs to back down or he will lose this fight. It will never be made for anything other than 50-50. Mayweather's ego is as out of control as Arum's. This fight is clear will never happen. Arum and his idiotic stadium idea and Mayweather demanding more than half. Mayweather vs Pac - R.I.P. Wish someone would knock both these guys clean out.

[ihatebobarum]

flyod just gave them a way out.
